Hey Charles,
This is off the subject, but I don't think Guitar Center carries those in any
of the stores, only on line.
However, I have seen them at Sam Ash. I'm sure you guys have some Sam Ash
stores around DC.
You may go there to check them out, if you want to put put your hands on them.
Best,
Shawn Brock

Subject: [ddots-l] Advise on a multi-channel preamp
Hi:
I am looking into adding additional input channels to my system. I am
currently using M-Audio's ProjectMix which has 8 XLR mic inputs. This is more
than enough for myself. However, pretty soon I'll be recording several
musicians at the same time and I will definitly need to add eight more channels
to my system. Jack Conti of this list recommended the Focusrite OctoPre MkII
which seems like a good option. I recently went to Guitar Center to check it
out but they did not have it in stock. What was interested is that they told
me I could get the Focusrite OctoPre MkII Dynamic which includes eight
compressors for about the same price as the Saffire Pro-40, that is about $500.
My plan is to run this multi-channel unit through my ProjectMix using the ADAT
connection. I can do that with either Focusrite unit. I think that the
OctoPre is the one I need, however I wanted to check with you all to see if
there are any reasons why I should choose the Pro-40 instead?
Any other 8 channel Preamp at around the same price that I should be looking
at?
Thanks for any advise.
